Carbon neutrality

Carbon neutrality refers to the goal of getting to net-zero carbon dioxide emissions to prevent or reduce global warming. This can be done by balancing emissions of carbon dioxide with its removal (often through carbon offsetting) or by eliminating emissions from society (the transition to the "post-carbon economy").[1] It is used in the context of carbon dioxide-releasing processes associated with transportation, energy production, agriculture, and industry.
